If either team had a scrum half worth the shirt they'd have run away with it.

There were audible groans when Youngs humped away another box kick towards the end, and there were several occasions where Saracens had a massive overlap and completely ignored it to cut inside or pop pass to a trundling forward.

It was, live, a compelling game, but absolute shit on a stick as far as a spectacle went.

I still really enjoyed though. Just a shame that Quins didn't beat Sarries - I think they'd have provided a better spectacle - Sarries and Leicester have such good defences that there was little space for playing with the ball in hand - although, you're right, Sarries did miss a couple of overlaps that looked dangerous, but not dead certs. Sarries looked the stronger side in the last 1/4, right up to when Leicester worked that drop goal - I really thought the Tigers were beaten when they had a player sin binned.

Nick Mullins on BT said on more than one occasion that the Sarries fans were making themselves heard, when you could quite clearly hear the crowd going ‘Tigers, Tigers’.

The groan came through very loud and clear on the TV as well

Managed to get hit in the box twice and fairly sure I was grievously insulted in Hindi before we came off for rain just in time to see Burns knock over the drop goal. We then went back out and lost by 8 wickets. The rest of my team are Wasps fans.
Shit day.

Fair play to Leicester, nothing if not consistent this year. Aled Davies is wank and there are surely better options out there - he came close to losing us the semi at times and has been a real weak link all season.
Sarries won’t admit it now but that was a good season for us, playing some very good rugby at some points.

Surely Sarries highest priority is to sign a top notch scrum half for next season.

Leicester need to give Wiggy a gold watch and his P45 as well.

Rather keep him on the playing payroll than Youngs!!!

Hopefully not an England special training injury

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:21 pm**

I know Randall is still learning but a simple fast pass on that England break and it would have been a try.
Edit. Actually thought he was younger. He’s 24. Selfish error.
Edit a. Randalls having a fcn mare.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:29 pm**

Can't tackle either.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:36 pm**

Every team, even including the Barbarians, seem to have worked out that England are always light at the rucks. Well every team except the England team.

Aye that was piss poor.

Unimpressive generally so far.

Marcus pulls something out of nothing.

Skelton is a fucking moron. Red for that, you dense twunt.

Looks like a red may be sparring Eddie’s blushes.

Right, so today that's a red card in the shoulder to head lucky dip.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:49 pm**

FFS, what a moron and that’s a baabaas game ruined.

This sport is passing me offa lot more than it used to.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:50 pm**

Jesus wept, that was appalling. Who was Atkinson looking at?

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:51 pm**

Phew, glad we don’t have more of these amateurs playing in real matches.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 2:51 pm**

Pretty pathetic from Skelton. Would much much prefer us to play Georgia than this

We've scored a corker of a try and then immediately given up a hilarious interception. What are you complaining about?

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:12 pm**

See our forwards have added some more grease to their hands at half time.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:16 pm**

Embarrassing from England

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:17 pm**

Kruis taking the conversion, lovely.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:20 pm**

Well, no one kicked the ball for that try. Eddie will be livid.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:21 pm**

Some lovely touches from Smith today

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:21 pm**

I know he's an obvious target, but we're 50 minutes in and that's the first time I've heard Ewels mentioned.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:21 pm**

Smith looks like he’s turned out for Old Silhillians 3rd 15 as a special treat to help them earn some cash.

Fair assessment of England's standard of play today.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:28 pm**

England are appalling

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:32 pm**

Dogshit at the breakdown. Second best to every ruck.

But here's Nowell to add his speed to the attack.

Can’t really go on an Eddie rant here. english clubs in Europe have been only a notch above the Welsh. Club game is insular and seemingly not facing up to the reality that as individual players and collective teams we’re not cutting it.

Posted: **Sun Jun 19, 2022 3:43 pm**

What was that, three straight breakdown penalties, then an advantage for the chip? Useless.

And the two times I've heard his name since it's when he's given away penalties...
